Hey, let's post something else which I wrote a year ago!
This is interesting. It was written as my black belt thesis, when I was testing for my black belt. It's true (and rather awful) that I deliberately refused to angst about every word as I normally do, because I wasn't turning it in to writing professors, but the head of the school. Not that they don't know good writing from bad, but the story mattered much more than the writing of it.
Therefore, re-reading it now, I see a bunch of flaws, simple and large - overall, it's not very subtle. ...But I do like the overall story; I think the ending's cute and it is, as a whole, a Heart-Warming Tale. It fulfills its purpose of demonstrating my understanding of being a black belt and shows a new black belt working her way out of multiple difficult, challenging situations. My karate masters liked it too. It is supposed to be quite similar to my own karate school and how it works, though all the characters are completely fictional. Though Lisa does have a lot of similarities to me with her insecurities, the way she works and things - that's intentional too.
